Well then.

Maybe it is indeed a bridgehead when you can actually move very heavy pieces of artillery across the river, by whatever means

Yeah could be, but I am pretty sure NATO would love to have that tested for their future adventures

ljubodrag I'm not sure if it's your source or you indicating that Urozhaine/Urozhayne is in Zaporizhzhia but the Urozhaine with fighting going on right now is in Donetsk oblast. There is one in Zaporizhzhia and several other oblasts too... so it's confusing. The front line is still pretty far north of Urozhaine in Zaporizhzhia so I'm thinking that your footage is definitely from Donetsk region.

Just thought I'd let you know.

"Urozhaine liberated," Hanna Maliar said on the Telegram messaging app. "Our defenders are entrenched on the outskirts."

The village in Donetsk region is part of a cluster of small rural settlements that Ukraine has declared liberated since early June when it started a push against Russian troops who control swathes of the south and east.
